Let's say we have a workflow variable in a workflow whose name is due_date. In the first node of the workflow, a task asks the workflow initiator to fill-in the participants. He/She also has to set the due date, but a value is already suggested: The current date plus seven days.
While desinging your workflow in Nuxeo Studio, in order to pre-set the due_date value, you can use an input automation chain on the node (General tab of the Node Properties dialog). In this automation chain, you use the Workflow Context>Set Workflow Variable.
Fill in the following parameters:
- name:
due_date - value:
@{CurrentDate.days(7).date}
